The big showdown in New Jersey is set with Broncos and Seahawks fans anxiously awaiting the game.

But it’s not just a big day for football fans.

For some eateries, it’s one of the busiest days of the year with people ordering food platters and packing restaurants.

It’s considered, by some, as a national holiday. Football fans are ready for one of the most-watched sporting events in the world.

“I’m a Denver Broncos fan,” one woman said.

“Seattle Seahawks,” another person said.

A lot of fans will catch the big game at a local restaurant.

“Being that Seattle and Denver are big Hawaii-based fans, we expect to be sold out again,” said Rob Acoba, operations manager for Side Street Inn on Kapahulu Avenue.

Side Street Inn has been planning its annual tailgate party since the beginning of December. The restaurant has sold more than 100 tickets including to people who will be visiting from the mainland. It costs $35 per person and includes prizes and a buffet.
